Cops are looking for a group of suspects who robbed three people trying to sell their stuff in Queens.
On Nov. 19, a 21-year-old man arranged to meet with the suspects at 73-46 194th Street with the intention to sell them a Rolex watch. When the suspects arrived at 1 p.m., they discharged an unknown substance into the victim’s face and forcibly took the watch. The suspects then fled the scene and the victim suffered minor injuries as a result.
Days later on Nov. 23, a 32-year-old man arranged to meet the suspects, to who he intended to sell a watch, in the vicinity of 156th Street and Horace Harding Expressway. Upon meeting at 6:20 p.m. that evening, the suspects sprayed the victim with an unknown substance and snatched the watch. The suspects then fled the scene and the victim suffered minor injuries.
Finally, on Dec. 12 a 24-year-old man and 23-year-old woman arranged a meet-up with the suspects in front of 81-23 189th Street with the intention of selling them a handbag. When they arrived at 4:50 p.m., the suspects discharged an unknown substance into the victims’ faces and grabbed the handbag. The suspects then fled the scene — the victims suffered minor injuries as a result.
